Paul Stastny
Paul Stastny, son of Peter Stastny, is a sophomore NHLer playing for the Colorado Avalanche. The article, is a very comprehensive overview of his personal life, pre-NHL career and current times, and in my humble, biased opinion, worthy for FA status. I'm the copyeditor; User:Serte is the main writer, however, he asked me to take a look over it and I think we've agreed to nominate this.  Maxim (talk)  23:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Serte here. I'd like to thank Maxim for the help and let's hear your comments.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 21:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

*Comment Good article, very thorough for a second year player. Have a few suggestions for it:
 * Stastny's international totals should be in a table under Career statistics, as has been done on most other NHL player articles.
 * In Style of play, it mentions Matt Carle praising Stastny's play. It would be a good idea to explain who Carle is, as he is not well known even within the hockey world.
 * The opening mentions that he is Peter Šťastný's son, but Paul's name notably doesn't include diacritics. It would be a good idea to explain why Paul doesn't have diacritics in his name, even in the form of a footnote.
 * As mentioned earlier at a review of the article, if there is any way to find another image of Stastny would help the article a lot. Granted that is a difficult task, but it would make the article less drab. While not really necesary, it will help. Kaiser matias (talk) 01:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks good, just find the wording for the explanation of the name change a little clumsy. Kaiser matias (talk) 06:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Support All my issues resolved
 * How about now? You can fix it if you wish, this is a wiki. ;-)  Maxim (talk)  11:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have sent a mail to a user on Flickr with many good images of Stastny, who has licensed his images under CC-BY-NC-SA and asked if he could change it to CC-BY-SA which would allow them to be used on wikipedia. --Krm500 (talk) 04:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * He has replied and will gladly upload higher resolution of the images and with wikipedia compatible license. He really liked the article too ;) --Krm500 (talk) 05:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Images added to the article, there's two more images if needed. --Krm500 (talk) 00:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Much better images, thanks a lot. :-)  Maxim (talk)  11:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added a note about the diacritics, for the Carle bit, I don't think it's a necessary bit, and it fit in awkwardly with the rest of the section, as for the international stats I haven't been able to find them. I've searched NHL.com, tsn.ca, hockeydb.com, avalanche.nhl.com and some random Google hits. If you can find them, that'll be great. Thanks,  Maxim (talk)  19:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Maxim, he has International stats in his NHL profile for the World Championship. (Not for the Viking Cup because that's a junior competition). I guess that can be added.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 21:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ack, gotta read more carefully. I've added them in.  Maxim (talk)  01:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

 * "the 3-0 win" - dash
 * Non-breaking spaces needed, eg. "34 games", "15 goals"
 * that "... his game isn't flashy and eye-popping as much as it is heady, intuitive and efficient." - logical quotation needed
 * Ref authors are inconsistently formatted. Epbr123 (talk) 13:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * All fixed. Thanks for your comments, they're the first in four days. :-)  Maxim (talk)  14:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
